Making your own pastry might seem like a lot of fuss when you can buy it (which is a perfectly good option if you’re pressed for time). But homemade pastry elevates your baked goods to a whole new dimension.

This recipe makes a 24cm pastry case (suitable for our lemon curd tart), or 18 individual tartlets (such as our brown sugar custard tarts).
